Tranmere Rovers stand between Boro and a second successive appearance in the FA Youth Cup semi-finals.

The club's campaign will make a scheduled stopover in the Wirral after Tranmere won through to round six by beating Southampton this week.

The fifth round tie at Prenton Park ended level at 3-3 after 90 minutes and further half-hour of extra-time failed to separate the sides.

But Rovers won a penalty shootout 6-5 to earn a home tie against last season's beaten finalists Boro.

A date has yet to be set for the fixture but it's likely to take place early next month.

If Boro win it will be the club's third appearance in the last four of the prestigious tournament in five seasons and further establishes Dave Parnaby's Academy as one of the nation's elite centres of football learning.
